[1] <https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/PHP-7.1.0/UPGRADING#L136-L137> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-02-10 15:33:53] rafal dot janiczek at gmail dot com Ok, propoably this report is related with #71038. But if it was major fix for sessions why there's no any info on session_start page or "PHP 7.1.0 Release Announcement" or "Backward incompatible changes"? Please just write it in changelog box for session_start(). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-02-10 13:38:30] spam2 at rhsoft dot net jesus christ when you get a warning "headers already sent" it did NOT work because the whole purpose of session_start() is send the PHPSESSID cookie to the client again: you thought it worked but it never did and now you get the truth additional to the warning - so say thank you that a major bug was fixed and points out broken code you never realized how broken it is ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-02-10 11:10:07] rafal dot janiczek at gmail dot com You'are right, it's bad code, but this piece of code was working since php-5.5.21(first time) and checking on 3v4l it was working since 4.3.x. Of course always with warning (headers already sent), but was working. Now it's problem with php 7.1 and 7.2. For me it's bug or regression. Maybe it's good to inform about that on http://php.net/manual/en/function.session-start.php ? There is nothing about that change in >7.1 series. https://3v4l.org/A06Gr ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
